FAUGET.

Application filed April 20, 1922. Serial No. 555,741.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGO Moon, a citizen of the United States, residingat 930 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, in the county of New York andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvement inFaucets, of which the following is a specification. v

This inventionrelates to faucets for wash basins and has for its objectthe provision of improved means for obtaining a flow of water in asingle stream at any desired. temperature.

Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the sameeffects can be produced with two independent hot and cold water faucetsas with a combination hot and cold water faucet. I

For many purposes the combination hot andcold water faucet wherein thehot and cold Water commingle before reaching the out-let of the faucet,has many advantages as by its use a sup-ply of water for washing orbathing can be obtained of any desired temperature from the coldest tothe warmest. The objection to the combination faucet is partly itsincreased cost and partly its increased bulk as the combination faucetusually requires more room than the independent hot and cold waterfaucets. The object of this invention is to provide a means forutilizing the separate hot and cold water faucets so as to get theeffect of a combination faucet. v

The invention is illustrated in a sectional view partly in elevation.

In the drawing 1 indicates a conventional wash basin, 2 a cold waterfaucet, 3 a hot water faucet. The outlet of the cold water faucet A isconsiderably below the outlet of the hot water faucet B and thedischarge spouts of these two faucets are so angularly disposed towardseach other that the effect of the two streams meeting at the .point 4:

' is to neutralize the impact of each other and to force the flow ofwater in a perpendicular rather than in an angular direction. In thisway it is easy for the person using the wash basin to obtain hot waterof any degree of temperature without scalding or to modify thetemperature of the cold water to any degree desired and it is possibleby this arrangement to wash the hands in a single stream of waterobtained from both the hot and cold water faucets which is not possiblewith the ordinary independent hot and cold water faucets hitherto known.It isapparent also that where the independent faucets are positionedfarther from I each other at the rim of the wash basin than is indicatedin the drawing herein, then the angle formed by the spouts of the twofaucets must be accordingly increased.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is: j

1. The combination of a basin, independent hot and cold water. faucetsplaced at the upper rim of the basin adjacent each other,

the outlets of said faucetsbeing on different,

horizontal planes, and shaped and positioned relative to each other soastogdeliver a single stream of water into the bottom of said basin whenboth faucets are'open. 2. The combination of a basin, independent hotand cold water faucets placed at the upper rim of said basin adjacenteach other and shaped and positioned relative to each other with theiroutlets disconnected and converging toward each other soas to .deliver asingle stream of commingled water into the bottom of said basin whenboth faucets are ,open.

3. The combination of a basin, hotanda cold water faucets positioned atthe rim. of said basin, each faucet having an independentangularly-disposed outlet, said outlets being disconnected and shapedand positioned at such'relative angles to each other so .as to deliver asubstantially vertical,

stream of commingled water intothe bottom of said basin when bothfaucets are; open.

4. The combination of a basin, h'oti andl cold water faucets positionedat the rim of said basin, each faucet having an independentangularly-disposed outlet, said outlets being disconnected and shapedand posi tioned at such relative angles to each other so as to deliver asingle stream of commingled waterinto the bottom of said basin whenboth/faucets are open.
